A decade of Big 4 insight into Wall Street dealmaking



Years of Excellence
Experience really does matter when it comes to Quality of Earnings analysis, and fortunately, we have plenty of that at Prosolve CPA. I spent nearly a decade at Deloitte, focusing on Buy-Side due diligence, primarily working with Wall Street clients. This rich experience forms the foundation of Prosolve CPA. Our robust background in buy-side due diligence makes our focus crystal clear—helping searchers and entrepreneurs make smart, informed decisions. We've seen firsthand how tailored advice can shape successful deals. In fact, this year alone, Prosolve CPA has successfully assisted over 15 self-funded and traditional searchers —offering them customized guidance.
How Our QoE analysis Helps You Avoid Buying The Wrong Business
Revenue Analysis and Recognition
Revenue Analysis and Recognition
We assist searchers in evaluating revenue recognition practices during due diligence to ensure accurate financial representation. By analyzing accounting policies, customer contracts, and sales processes, we identify potential discrepancies and assess the sustainability of revenue streams, safeguarding searchers from overvaluation and financial misrepresentation.






Net Working Capital
Net Working Capital
We help searchers accurately evaluate Net Working Capital (NWC) during acquisitions, ensuring a fair valuation and protecting against hidden costs. By thoroughly analyzing current assets and liabilities, identifying essential adjustments, and establishing a balanced NWC peg, we safeguard buyers from overpaying and preserve their liquidity after the deal closes.
Verify Addbacks to Adjusted EBITDA / SDE
Verify Addbacks to Adjusted EBITDA / SDE
We scrutinize addbacks to EBITDA, ensuring only valid adjustments like non-recurring, personal, or discretionary expenses are considered. This prevents inflated valuations and uncovers potential red flags. Our analysis safeguards searchers from overpaying and ensures a true reflection of the business’s earning potential.






Cash proof analysis
Cash proof analysis
We conduct Proof of Cash analyses to confirm the accuracy and reliability of a business's financial records during acquisitions. By thoroughly examining cash inflows, outflows, and bank reconciliations, we uncover discrepancies, hidden risks, or possible fraud—empowering buyers to make confident, informed decisions based on trustworthy financial data.

“Asad was hired to perform FDD/QOE. I got this and more for a reasonable cost. His QOE work was instrumental in negotiating the working capital with the seller, which saved me thousands of dollars. I am contracting him as a CPA / Fractional CFO for the long run. Highly recommend his services.”

“Prosolve CPA added tremendous value throughout my business acquisition process, both before and after signing the LOI. Their insights helped me evaluate the deal with confidence, and even though I chose not to move forward, their support was instrumental in making an informed decision. Highly recommended to anyone exploring a business purchase.”

“Asad gave me great insights on doing quick analysis of SMB deals. He showed strong knowledge and interest in the topic. Thanks, Asad!”

Deputy Project Manager – Tetra Tech
“We worked with Asad and his team to complete Phase 1 of the QoE, focused on validating the financials. This proved to be exceptionally valuable. It provided crucial insights that played a key role in renegotiating the terms with the seller. Asad was very thorough and professional in his approach.”
Dov Halevy
Assistant Vice President, Finance and Operations – BHI
“I can’t say enough good things about Asad and his team at Prosolve CPA. They jumped in right after we signed the LOI to help us with the Quality of Earnings (QOE) process. In Phase I, they did an amazing job validating the target company's financials. By the time we got to Phase II, their insights were game-changing. They helped us adjust the deal structure and even negotiate a better purchase price. Asad was always quick to respond and really hands-on, making the entire process so much smoother. We’re still working with him now that the deal is closed—he’s helping us set up the entity structure, allocating the purchase price, and providing tax/accounting services. If you’re in the search phase or the middle of an acquisition, I highly recommend reaching out to him.”

"l interviewed 9 QoE firms for my deal <$1M MVE, But at the end The firm I chose was ProSolve CPA. The Seller's financials appeared to me to be very clean, and that was confirmed by my QoE provider In retrospect likely “could” have gotten away without it, considering that the books passed even my initial small test. However, the QoE provided by the firm - ProSolve CPA with Asad Jan - was incredibly insightful and is helping me to keep my eyes on certain expense/revenue mixes that I likely would have missed"
